3:31 Chris man I'm having the same circles under my eyes what's the fix to this
money does not buy happiness, but being poor does buy stress!!!
I deal with a reasonable amount of wealthy to extremely wealthy clients through my business. I can say with confidence, that more often than not, they are miserable. If I had to put a number on it I'd say around 80% seem very sad and depressed. Most are trying to numb their pain with luxury items, in combination with alcohol, drugs etc. Many are on three or more marriages.
It's taught me to be more appreciative of what I have, and to never associate wealth with overall contentment and satisfaction.
Your practice? Maybe there's a confirmation bias there.
As a poor person, I'd rather be miserable in a GT3 and in a mansion with a personal chef than miserable everyday going to a work i hate in a 6 year old VW with frozen process food waiting for me the end of the day.
@@guillaumep7660 Automotive. And yes. You may well be correct. I make no claims that my experience would apply across the board. Just sharing my thoughts.
@@Boostlagg I thought I was doing alright and I drive a 13 year old car 😂
In all seriousness, I totally get your point, but I think that there is likely a happy medium where you're above poor and below very rich. It is however going to be different for every individual. I don't think some people know how to handle the lifestyle of having too much money.
What is your business that allows you to interact with these clients?
I have been at both ends. Kicked out at 18, homeless 3 years, welfare 4 years, until I got my life together & got where I am now.... Money has made me much happier, I can actually do things & buy things I want now.
Unless a person experienced both ends, their opinion is invalid.
No "thing" will make you happy, it's what that "thing" does for you...... this applies to everything, not just money.
Robin kick started my journey into self mastery/improvement about 6 years ago. Reading the 5am club, implementing his 20/20/20 formula. His work is amazing.
To hear him again and the way he speaks about beauty, craft, and generosity is so refreshing and was a great reset during the week. I was looking forward to this episode! Thanks Chris for getting this together.
“A bad day for the ego is a great day for the soul.” Incredible.
Something clicked inside me, when Robin was talking about coming from the place of generosity vs scarcity. In that moment I realized that I probably have enough, while always empty handed and empty hearted, dreaming of more. Very important moment for me, never happened before, that realization, that my way of seeing things makes me deeply unhappy.
Been a watcher for years. This is in my top 5 episodes ever. Thank you, Chris.
I’m getting into MWP right now and I just got done taking notes because it was that innovating and evocative to me. What are your top episodes?
Love the line of conversations you are pursuing.
In its higher form. It's less about answers and understanding. And more about personal engagement/invocation.
A PT session of a kind. In that, it's a wait for those wide eye moments.
Or just present and attentive....dropping a fishing line in the water and .....
Then run with that. When get a bite.
It's spontaneous and truthly authentic....when the student is ready...the moment will present itself.
Verses "buying" or looking for an off the shelf DIY manual.
A discipline born out of curiosity.
Verses climbing other people's mountains to try and recreate the feelings we are chasing
90% of what this guy says is practiced scripts meant to make you feel the butterflies. When his script is challenged he get visibly flustered and doesn't know what to do.
5am club is one of the worst books I've ever read, didn't realise this guy wrote it but recognised his waffling faux grandeur style of speaking, looked him up and put the two together 😂
modern day preacher who ironically hosts extremely expensive talks for celebrities.
You are part of the cynicism they speak about here, what's exactly the point of your comment
@@jorgetinoco3574 Identifying snake oil salesmen? Didn't know who this guy is, but there are SO many of these "gurus" or "motivational speakers" or "life coaches" or... you get it.
It's always the same common sense stuff mixed in with hours of practiced rhetoric, hyping you up and "motivating" you at the moment, and then you click on the next thing and forget everything, which doesn't matter because there wasn't anything of substance to be forgotten in the first place anyway!
I can't think of how to frame this without it coming across as just selfish and lazy, but I simply don't want a job as such - all I see with the majority of jobs is people spending 40+ hours per week doing something they don't want to do, unable to find the time or manage their time to do the things they want to do like paint or read or a new game came out or whatever it may be, because their job has drained them.
My mum recently retired and she's done retail her whole life.
My dad has been retired for a while but has had a few jobs; mechanic, welder, HGV driver.
I have never seen them echo an overall positive sentiment about what they've done, they just done and they were constantly tired and now they're too old to enjoy their retirement.
Those who are self employed have even less spare time to actually enjoy hobbies because what they do requires so much time and effort.
True wealth to me is not needing to work.
A questioned you fulfilled not working?
For myself I didn’t have to work right away after finishing school and had all the time I wanted to myself.
For the most part I have been very miserable when I didn’t have work to focus on. Of course you World Wang your work to be as fulgí Long as posible but even doing sone work that was not my Dream made me feel Like I was contributing to something and not just sitting around. Can’t just do nothing all the time, if you get bored you will want to work.
@@moritji6090 - I can only speak for myself here but I'm only bored when not able to do a thing I want to do, like at a doctor's appointment and just sitting there waiting.
My dad is currently in hospital and it was only 2 allowed to a bed, so while my mum and sister were seeing him I was in the waiting room bored out of my mind - no signal where I was so couldn't even distract myself with UA-cam or whatever - didn't think to take a book with me, hindsight.
I don't find myself being bored at home, either I'll read a book, paint or build some Warhammer, watch a movie, or for the most part I'm gaming.
I'm not doing nothing, I'm enjoying hobbies and interests - so it's fundamentally selfish, but it's also influenced by how tired and miserable I've seen people regarding work.
There was a guy in my class at college a few years ago complaining about boredom on his day off - I found it odd because it suggested to me he has no hobbies, no interests.
If you have to work then find work you can tolerate and doesn't drain you.
Robin has been my favorite person to turn to for about 10 years now or more. His words I can truely feel. 🙌
It's only after we've lost everything are we truly able to appreciate anything 😎🤟☯️
You're right about fasting people would feel so much before if only it wasn't a "fashion" thing, very easy to do compared to all the crap you have to do in life and you benefit so much from this. Do it everyday.
Money won’t make you happy - Rich people
Beauty is in the inside - literal magazine models
Honestly people like this are so full of bullshit.
"some men are so poor, all they have is money" -Bob Marley
He said "some people" not men
Beautifully said.!
You should acknowledge that some people were destroyed by these successful types and there is no going back. You can work on your personal growth all you want but if the soil you have left is irradiated and barren, you’re SOL.
"even if there's no applause". Love it.
Beautiful interview!
Awesome interview 👍🙏
Yet another excellent discussion. The best ones are where we see a little bit of you, your honesty. Good job
This one of my most favorite episodes ❤
Love his points at 13:03 🤗 thank you
Thanks
This is EXCELLENT 👌🏽
Really good video!
I don’t think Money can sustain happiness but it definitely can make your life easier.
Great insights
Wonderful conversation. The way he pronounces “mozzarella di bufala” is almost perfect :)
Thank you, was an insightful conversation for the run this morning
Brilliant interview Chris since a friend of mine told me to buy one of Robin's book's I was instantly hooked btw (I'm not a reader)
I really like the way this man thinks and sees the world.
Bang on, Bombardiers!
Love this guy
Beautiful conversation!!!
Chris Williamson podcasts have more platitudes per episode than any other!
I Love Mr. Dress up! This guy has such addictive positivity
Please do a podcast with dan koe omg thtll be amazing
everyone wants what they dont have.
I don't.
@@kimberlyf4888 yer…sure lol
I am waiting for the day that Robin Sharma will start writing rap songs.
This gentleman is articulate. Great man I bet.
21:00 i actually beleive in doing it as i want to become dust and burnt over a fireplace atleast after the age of _
So im not fearing it and also prepared for it and that will be why I'd do things that makes me value the time things that will give me value of moment, value of age/youth so I'll remain positive or maybe negative but in a limit not dramatic nor afraid and trying my best to avoid regrets
Its really affective cause you no more follow logic but your heart your needs and afraid of only two things which is unwanted life and avoidable death(either of dreams or soul's) its just great if you want something more than happiness,ego some sort of fulfillment and some of pure satisfaction/gratification
If you are money oriented, and you prioritize expanding your wealth of personal value, it will reflect into material wealth naturally. It is sad to see young folks getting this wrong.
One of my favourites so far. Listened to it twice on a mindful drive to Shropshire and back. Loving your work more every day ❤
Does Robin have kids? Would love to see how Robin handles kids at dinner table asking the same question 10 to 15 times.
And yet when you have serious existential struggles so many of the things he talks about are that much harder to achieve.
I was born poor, I have lived poor and I will die a poor man..am I unhappy? No!
I love Robin Sharma! He helps me remember how wealthy I am. 😊
Hey! love your podcasts :) Just wondering if one day you could invite Peter McKinnon on, he's one of the most famous photographers of our time with almost 6 million subs.
Chris, your shot is so clear I could count the DNA stands in your ear hair.
New studio set up looks INSANE 🔥
The hero self is wonderful before some resentments can set in from others intending to hurt us on.purpose. Some people decide to hurt others because they are so jealous of that person rising to a level they wish they could’ve. Some people need to be let go. Chris, could you please have Dr Chuck DeGroat on your podcast? He sorts out narcissism in religion and healing for people in religious circles and he’s coming out with inner healing book sometime later. Thanks for considering!!
This guy rocks! Spread the word brother!
💯
Man Vincent Van Gogh is not someone we should drive to want to be like. Deeply unhappy person and mentally unwell. Empty platitudes for an hour.
I SAW THE FIRST THUMBNAIL YOU CAN’T STOP ME BIG BROTHER
I SAW THE SECOND THUMBNAIL YOU CAN’T STOP ME BIG BROTHER
Any time i look for "self-improvement" style book now i always do my research on the author first, i try to find out what experiences has this person gone through so they would know what they are talking about so say for example an ex sas solider, or has this person got qualifcations in certain medical fields to explain the process of the brain throughout say trauma, too many self improvements books are written by people who are basically writing a book of clever sounding quotes and just bring out book after book after book trying to make as much mony as possible talking about the same subject but worded slighlty different.
That is Chris Williamsons specialty! More platitudes per minute than any other channel!
Really enjoyed this one, Chris! Robin is always an inspiration, read the majority of his books and the last one as well. Can highly recommend it. :)
This one and your Dr K episode have a shared number one spot ❤ amazing content
4:50 if only that still existed.. alas, AI...
Poverty is the world’s #1 killer.
Perfect timing got my coffee and zynachino in the blood stream
Standing in solidarity with my 32oz cold brew and two 6 milly gum pillows in the upper decky bruhther 🫡
A little ironic you have this podcast while recommending 155$ (cad) T-shirts , As Randy Moss says, "C'mon Man!!)
🥰❣😘
So tired of rich people telling poor people money doesn't bring happiness or ease of living. Its condescending and frankly never gonna convince anyone when the same rich person continues to accumulate wealth. Its hypocritical.🖕🏽
Lies! Money would make me much happier. I’d like to find out for myself.
For how long do you think money would make you happy for?
I could go 20+ years without having to work and still be financially stable. Money does not make you internally validated. Happy is a dumb word and it doesn't actually exist on any real scale of time. Validation is what humans seek. Internal validation being the supreme form, because you can validate yourself without needing external forms of validation. Money is external. Money doesn't make you feel better about yourself.
Couldn’t agree with this more. I’m loving the podcast but the better would be actively helping younger entrepreneurs, and not running the risk of passively patronizing those who are out there grinding.
It's a delusion...Was smashed broke a few years back and somehow thinks turned around workwise and managed to get ahead quite substantially...but it created more problems than you would think...I lost my girlfriend and many friends and the people I know now with money aren't nice ...be careful what you wish for bro
Perhaps you would be wise to listen to those who have gone before you. Even a fool can learn via experience. The wise person learns from the experiences of the fool.
Geez, Must be tough doing whatever the f*** you want. Let me figure out for myself
Droping truths every minute
Brilliant now I just need to watch it again to internalize it. We all tick or possess some of the forms of wealth and have to understand we are not all destined for greatness or fame. Must be happy with your lot in life but aspire to do better.
I like a lot of Robin's ideas, but he needs to ask a Japanese person about the meaning of INTOKU. It's not what he thinks it is..
CRY ME A RIVER.
😭😭😭... 🥴 I'm not "rich" yet, but I'm well off enough to see the writing on the wall. It's a hollow victory and the worst part is no one cares. Lol Congrats, now all of your relationships are transactional, and almost everyone around will off you for your assets. 😐
Kendime güzel bir kütüphane yapayım yeter bana. Belki bir kaç ufak şey daha.
It's true. It really doesnt. I won a huge bet one time and it brought no happiness except bring great anxiety/stress before and after it. And then it completely destroyed my ability to sleep which further ruined my health. It's not worth it. Don't get wrapped up over money. Go out, spend time with friends and family, start a lovely family of your own, get out in nature and explore. Do so in ways where money isn't too prevalent. That's far healthier and more enriching in meaning.
“If they knew better they would do better.”
Some people are indeed capable of unmitigated intentional malice. It is terrible advice to pretend otherwise.
Financually wealthy Guru speaking of how wealth is spiritual! Give me a break! My bullshit radar always pings when I have tried listening to this guest!
How can a guy who lives in a beautiful farmhouse in Tuscany tell me how to live. I work hard and still can’t afford basic things. Doesn’t matter how many times you meditate and think oh well it’s never going to get better
wears a different 90s ska skate snowboard hat every interview im digging it but wonder why
All the extremely wealthy people I know seem extremely unfulfilled. I visit their land, but wouldn't want to live there.
If he thinks wealth won't make me happy, and doesn't make him happy, can he wire me 10 million dollars?
He says he doesn't need it.
You get smart people and then you get know-it-alls. Know-it-alls want to be smart and also want other people to think they are smart. Chris is a know-it-all and this is probably why he had no friends as a kid.
This guy pauses as if waiting for praise. Guru sham vibes
Platitude overload!
Oh man…I think this guy is sincere, but still manages to come off essentially shallow.
Reminds me of Thai Lopez with the copious quotes and book references stitching his every thought together.
I don’t think he knows himself very well, but can imagine he’s convinced he does.
This guy is coping...but I love the blue tint glasses
Coping with what?
Wealthy person telling unwealthy people that money can't bring happiness
Regardless of the tons of good information passed along this conversation; no one sane smiles when they speak on that frequent of basis.
Out of all the miserable, a few would be millionaires
I used to work for a multimillionaire. All his mates were multimillionaires and it drove him crazy that he was the poorest multimillionaire in his social group.
Go figure.
Chris, put your money when your mouth is, and I say this with all respect for your effort to learn, and to broadcast that learning. My point is that most (I think) interesting things (ideas and artifacts) get ignored. Those who are most creative are also the least celebrated, and human society tends to drama, a place where creativity is rare, very rare.
First
Bro just keeps waffling
This dude is a HIPPIE 🤣
Disliked for no time stamps.
Timestamps would be nice but come on dude this is great content save the dislikes for something that's actually bad
This guy lacks substance imo. Wishy washy lightweight self help truisms.
I'd invite anyone to consider building a metaphorical TajMahal while the valued other is still alive ....
I am highly requesting a podcast with Erwin McManus. Erwin has a lot more original thoughts, not as trite or full of quotes and cliche anecdotes as this guy.
is this the guy who sells a shit ton of books and hosts extremely expensive talks for celebrities?..
Chris are you kidding me. Is this a Joke? Of course if somehow I was given 1 million dollars I would be extremely Happy what the Hell! Are you talking about. I have lost so much respect for you Chris. Unsubscribed. Bye.
That’s it? One view that you don’t like and all your respect vanishes, is that how fragile your sense of value is. Because if that’s the case then perhaps your respect wasn’t worth much to begin with.
@@zekite6467
Lol, right?
Nice guest, but it felt like a collage of feel-good vibe Instagram videos of the Covid era full of "buzz" concepts; Italy, Zen... etc.. Sorry. I'd run if the guest talks about WWII/Hitler, Greek Mythology, Romans, Japanese manners...so inbred. Looking forward to Monday.
CHRIST IS KING!!
